My Dear Brahmananda,<br />

Please accept my bless<strong>in</strong>gs. I am <strong>in</strong><br />

due receipt of your note of Oct. 28, 1968,<br />

along with a letter to you <strong>from</strong> Jaigov<strong>in</strong>da.<br />

His letter appears not very clear and your<br />

remark on Achyutananda's attitude is also<br />

notable. You write to say "Rayrama will<br />

forward one letter <strong>from</strong> Parvat Maharaj<br />

etc ." I have not received any letter <strong>from</strong><br />

Rayrama. I th<strong>in</strong>k both Achyutananda and<br />

Jaigov<strong>in</strong>da have been poisoned by this<br />

Parvat and thus it is useless to request<br />

them to work for the society. Neither they<br />

have shown any capability till now. Under<br />

the circumstances, I th<strong>in</strong>k there is no hope<br />

of gett<strong>in</strong>g any service <strong>from</strong> these boys regard<strong>in</strong>g<br />

our mission.<br />

I wrote one letter jo<strong>in</strong>tly addressed to<br />

Achyutananda and Jaigov<strong>in</strong>da but they<br />

have not replied the same. I th<strong>in</strong>k as Bon<br />

Maharaj poisoned the m<strong>in</strong>d of Hrisikesh,<br />

similarly these boys have been entrapped<br />

by Parvat. This Parvat is one of the disciples<br />

of my God-brother but he is so salient<br />

that he has not replied to my letters, but,<br />

<strong>in</strong>stead of reply<strong>in</strong>g my letter, he has the<br />

impudency of writ<strong>in</strong>g to Rayrama. Rayrama<br />

may not reply this letter until I have<br />

seen it. He appears to be as venomous as<br />

Bon Maharaj . They are all envious of my<br />

activities here. As Jaigov<strong>in</strong>da has not yet<br />

left for Bombay, there is no need of issu<strong>in</strong>g<br />

<strong>in</strong>demnity letter <strong>in</strong> his favor. I do not understand<br />

why he has requested to address<br />

the <strong>in</strong>demnity letter to Parvat Maharaj .<br />

These are vel)' doubtful th<strong>in</strong>gs. I do not<br />

know how to deal with these boys. Both of<br />

them are silent about my letter of Oct. 13,<br />

1968 which I wrote them about realiz<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the money <strong>from</strong> Hitsaran. I am really very<br />

sorry for them. I am enclos<strong>in</strong>g the copy of<br />

the above mentioned letter.<br />

Hope you arc well; I received the Bhagavad<br />

Gita hardcover jacket.<br />

Yo ur ever well-wisher,<br />

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami<br />

P. S. I have not heard anyth<strong>in</strong>g <strong>from</strong><br />

Purushottama about the church center.<br />

3rd November, 1968<br />

My Dear Mukunda,<br />

Please accept my bless<strong>in</strong>gs. I have not<br />

heard anyth<strong>in</strong>g <strong>from</strong> you <strong>in</strong> about a fortnight,<br />

and I am anxious to hear how you<br />

are do<strong>in</strong>g there. It may be there is some<br />

mail delay due to my leav<strong>in</strong>g Seattle, for<br />

Santa Fe, and then com<strong>in</strong>g here to Los<br />

Angeles. You can write me at the above<br />

address, my residential apartment. And<br />

you will be pleased to know that I am now<br />

accepted with the USA Immigration Department<br />

as Permanent Resident, with<br />

option to apply for citizenship. And yesterday<br />

's report of the activities of Samkirtan<br />

party is that they sold 175 copies of<br />

Back To Godhead, and collected 130 dollars<br />

<strong>in</strong> donations.<br />

Hope you are all well there, and I shall<br />

be expect<strong>in</strong>g to hear <strong>from</strong> you by return of<br />

post.<br />

Your ever well-wisher,<br />

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
